ILLUMANNATIONS

In 1968 Mann’s Jewelers opened their new location at the corner of Monroe Avenue and Clover

Street. Having just relocated from bustling downtown Clinton Avenue, a move to the suburban and (at that time) undeveloped township of Brighton/Pittsford, gave Irving and Gertrude Mann some pause. After all, they had invested all they had into their small jewelry business—would their gamble be a winning one? Would moving to the outskirts of the community, and away from the heart of business and commerce, be alluring for customers, or would the store be overlooked and forgotten?

On opening day, the doors swung open, looking out onto a quiet landscape dotted with a small sprinkle of neighborhood businesses. And the rest, as they say, is history.

2013 marks another landmark year for Mann’s Jewelers. In the fall, Mann’s will open their second location, a 7,000 square foot jewel box in the renovated Von Maur wing of Eastview Mall in Victor, NY. A lot has changed since 1968: Mann’s Jewelers’ vast collection of fine jewelry and timepieces often doesn’t get displayed all at once due to space constraints; five goldsmiths work side by side in an on-site studio, diligently trying to keep pace with repair and custom-design requests. During some events, shoppers are given pagers at the door, ensuring their place in the queue to receive service.

As the Mann family moves forward with building plans this year, they also look back: reminiscing about their years in the family business, recalling special moments and funny stories. Listen in on a recent guided conversation between founder Irving Mann and his children, CEO Nancy Mann and president Robert Mann.

What was it like when you moved to Brighton/Pittsford in 1968?Irving: When I first opened up here, there was a drugstore on one side, and a supermarket on the other. We had come from an urban downtown area, Sibley’s…McCurdy’s… where everyone went to shop. There were mobs of people. When we had to vacate that location due to urban renewal, it felt like a disaster. We had built up a business and suddenly had no place to go. One day my wife saw a sale on shoes, and she ran to the store to shop the sale—and it happened to be in the Monroe/Clover Plaza. She saw that the shoe store was going out of business and as a result we checked it out. When

we moved to Brighton/Pittsford, we were the only jeweler here for many years.

Nancy: When we moved here in 1968, this was the “country.” Across the street where Starbucks is now, there was

a car dealership, Nagle Ford. It felt

very rural at the time. I remember walking into this new store as a child and thinking “How will we ever fill all this space with merchandise?” The store downtown had been so small, a covered trash can doubled as the salesperson’s stool behind this tiny little counter where we would show engagement rings.

Robert: We had 650 square feet on 158 Clinton Avenue South, near RBI and Xerox: so small you had to go outside just to change your mind! We were moving to a 1,300 square foot location in Brighton/Pittsford. What was interesting, when looking at the pamphlets and brochures from the old store, was that in addition to jewelry we used to sell Samsonite luggage, toasters and other general merchandise. Where did we put it all?

Was there a defining moment when you knew the move was a success?Irving: Well it took about two years. In addition to our old customers taking the bus from downtown to say hello, we made new friends and customers from the surrounding neighborhoods.

Now, Mann’s Jewelers is known for carrying legendary brands. What was your first brand?Irving: Rolex. It was a big deal back then, and still is. The first time they came to see the store, they said “Nah, this isn’t for us.” I kept sending letters to Rolex. It was my dream to one day acquire such a legendary brand. Now,

I’m proud to say we’re exclusive with Rolex in Rochester.What are some of the more memorable pieces of jewelry you’ve seen?Robert: We’ve worked on an NBA championship ring, a Super Bowl ring and a World Series ring—that’s kind of cool.

What is the funniest story you can remember?Irving: One day a couple of ladies came from RG&E for an inspection. I took them upstairs. We had a false ceiling here at that time, in a corner of the 2nd floor, behind a door clearly marked “Do Not Enter.” I went back downstairs

to work on the sales floor. The next thing I know [laughing], I see two high heels and silk stockings come through the ceiling. First one, and then the other. I ran up under her and yelled to the staff, “Get me a ladder!” She settled around my shoulders, wrapping her legs around me like we were in a chicken fight pool game!

Nancy: [Laughing] A couple of years ago, I was at a charity auction, and a gentleman came up to me and said, “You know, you’re probably too young

to remember, but I was at your store the day a woman came through the ceiling and landed on your father’s head!” It was one

of the funniest things ever.

Irving, Nancy and Robert Mann share why 2013 is going to be a year to remember. Interview by MEGAN CRAWFORD

Another time, many years ago, we ordered some big tubs of rigatoni and meatballs for our staff for dinner. A few days later, one of our employees, instead of throwing the leftovers in the trash, took this whole big tub of meatballs upstairs and decided to flush them down the toilet. All of a sudden, the toilet overflowed and dripped through the old ceiling. We had ceiling fans going because it was hot, and the fans start flinging spaghetti sauce all over, whoosh, whoosh! We cleaned up the mess and kept on working; we’ve had a lot of laughs along the way.

Robert: So it was cloudy with a chance of meatballs? [Laughing] Once when I was 15, my parents were at a trade show in New York City, at the Hilton. I was bored and decided to meet up with a friend I had recently met at summer camp, from Queens. We were out running around the streets. He was a tough, cool looking kid like Fonzie. At some point we returned to the hotel to find my family at the jewelry show and were intercepted with “Excuse me, are you boys supposed to be here?” They were asking for identification, which of course we didn’t have because we were young. The guy escorts us into the elevator and I’m complaining a bloody blue streak. He says “Unless you can show me something with your name on it, you’re not staying here.” I suddenly remembered that I had just returned from camp, and my mom had sewn my name into all of my underwear…so…I said “I’ve got it!” It worked.

You three, combined with your staff, have waited on over a million customers in all your years running Mann’s Jewelers. Any especially memorable ones?Irving: Brenda Vacarro, Jackie Cooper and Irving Crane were some surprise visitors over the years. Many legendary sports people, business people and musicians, who still shop with us today.

Nancy: We’ve met many amazing people through the years, and the jewelry business has an interesting culture. Customers

are entitled to their anonymity. We are often the first to know about someone’s impending engagement for instance, and I like to say that we have better HIPPA here than in the medical profession!

What designers have visited Mann’s Jewelers over the years?Nancy: Designers David and Sybil Yurman, Roberto Coin, Stephen Webster, Todd Reed and many presidents from legendary watch and jewelry brands.

What was your proudest moment at Mann’s Jewelers?Irving: It wasn’t just one moment, it’s been was a combination of moments over the years. It was when Nancy and Rob each became a part of the business.

Robert: To me, and the real reason I came into the business, was that so many people would tell me how amazing my parents were. I wondered, what is it about my parents that make people gush about them when they see me? As I’ve gotten older, I know that it’s a privilege to work with your family, and specifically with your parents. To have the opportunity to see them every day and to work with them every day… you don’t realize it when you’re going through it.

Nancy: Probably my proudest moment professionally was when, in 2000, I won the Excellence in Retail Award given by the Women’s Jewelry Association. As I was writing the acceptance speech I would read to over 900 people,

including my family, I was able to reflect on how significant this business has been for me. So many milestones. So many friendships. So much creativity. I’ve really been very fortunate.

Why are you excited to open a second location?Irving: We will be reaching a wider audience, geographically, and it will give more of our former and new customers an opportunity to see the jewelry that we have to offer. We’re looking forward to making more friends in our new neighborhood.

What will this new shopping experience be like?Robert: It will mirror the experience in the current location. It will be warm, it will be welcoming, it will be inviting. It will have excitement around every corner. It will be the most unique and interesting jewelry environment in Upstate New York.

What were you looking for in a second location?Robert: We’ve been looking at opportunities for the past five years or so. Eastview Mall is a perfect alignment of what you would hope for. A great partner. A great opportunity in a new, freshly developed

space, and Eastview Mall is a wonderful meeting spot—a gathering space—like downtown Rochester in the days of old. Eastview Mall is the crown jewel of shopping experiences in Rochester. To have the variety of brands that they have…and to attract the variety of people that they attract is quite impressive. It’s an amazing cross-section of life in and around the Rochester area.

What do you love about jewelry?Nancy: A number of things! Jewelry is a great combination of art and fashion. It’s an expression of personal style, and it’s a tangible expression of life’s most special moments. Because of the level of intimacy you develop when working with customers, they give you the opportunity to be a part of their world in a way that I’m not sure is often shared in other industries. It creates a lasting impression, and I feel very blessed to be a part of that.

Irving: To go out into the community and have people stop you, point to their jewelry and say “Fifty years ago you sold me this.”

Robert: It is a cool feeling, when you’re out and about and see a piece of jewelry you designed or sold. As you age with the business, you

see the business refresh itself. You sell an engagement ring. You sell an anniversary gift. You sell a baby gift. The baby grows up and I sell engagement rings to my customer’s children. I continue to be involved in their lives, to sell them these iconic, meaningful pieces that they’ll wear throughout life and pass on to their children.

One thing the Manns are clear about is that Mann’s Jewelers will remain a family business with a personal touch. “It’s about our family serving your family, and building a lifelong relationship.”

structured yet fluid, and leather still holds its head up high, proving it’s just a second skin.

My favorite looks:For a sassy lunch date or even a workday, I’m loving a silk patterned bomber jacket with a fitted, high wasted pencil skirt. Find a skirt in a bright pastel (my favorites this year are spearmint and lavender) and wiggle while you work it. Add some

colorful modern floral pumps and geometric shape sunglasses to complete the look.

Now, head to the Rochester Yacht Club for Memorial Day in

a helicopter, and don’t forget to bring the Cristal Champagne (seriously, reality is overrated). Michael Kors sent the preppy kids to Top Gun this spring. Stripes galore were all over the runways. Red and navy skin-tight crewnecks with front-slit skirts. Simple sure, but the badass tan, lightened beach hair and color shield aviators were over the top. Then you can add some real glam to your stripes with

a pop of emerald gems.

What to wear to the biggest wedding in town? Steal the attention from the bride in a ball gown with black and white diagonals. Simply strapless, with a big bell and a big bang. Just diamonds…did I mention big? Black and white compete for the coolest spot this spring. This season the easiest

trend is all about contrast. Graphic patterned dresses are fabulous when you’re feeling

daring, or be tastefully sexy in a cropped black pant with a white men’s tuxedo

jacket, a sultry serpent bracelet, and a clear PVC pump (yes, that’s a plastic shoe).

Back to the future…quick, grab the flux-capacitor! Is it ’90s grunge or ’60s mod?

Seriously, oh holy ones in Paris, can’t we all be on the same page this season? I’m

going to side with Marc Jacobs on this one.

Rochester native and fashion connoisseur COURTNEY WINSLOW shines the light on spring & summer fashion.

FABULOUS IN ROCHESTER

probably own more tunics and caftans than Mrs. Roper did. I seem to be under the impression that I am in a Palm Springs photo shoot. I have a serious addiction to dressing

for the beach. Honestly, the way I buy clothes to “go to the beach” you would think that it’s the newest bar in town...or that I live near a beach. Neither. Regardless, I am truly obsessed

with ornate swim attire. I prefer them to have more rhinestones and sequins than Lady Gaga—that way the sun reflects off me like a disco ball on a yacht.

And that’s not even the extent of it. Oh no, the embellishment on the clothing is NOT enough. I then layer on more bohemian jewels with raw druzy in organic shapes than you can imagine. Seriously, one would think that I was off to the Oscars instead of the shore. In my opinion, jewelry looks best drenched in salt water and soaked by the sun.

Then there are all the fabulous sandals! Just today I was caught with a new pair of Valentino Noir Rockstud sandals, that I apparently

did not “need.” Well considering I thought I might DIE if I didn’t get them, I’d say my hubby was mistaken. Ah, crystal neon gladiators, studded ankle straps and gemmed toe rings. Glitteratti! So, try to imagine how freaking excited I am for spring and summer. You’re not even close. I’m like ten times that excited.

Okay fine, I live in Rochester far from a beach, but I am close to wonderful restaurants, brilliant lakes, fantastic live music venues and rolling country clubs. So when I do decide to trade in my extravagant tunic for some “real clothes” these are the trends that will encourage me to actually get dressed. The colors this season are bold; yellow and orange are as bright at the sunset, and blue-greens shimmer like the ocean. The fabrics are light but embellished,

Who wouldn’t, right? He’s hot, gay and can party like it’s… well you get the picture. ’60’s Mod is a fabulous way to get a little taste of a happy pill this

spring. Straight from the Valley of the Dolls are extra-short shift dresses adorned with flower power. Add fringe earrings to any outfit and it’ll make you want to do the shimmy shake.

Sporty accessories will also be making their debut in my closet this season. With a whole new line of colorful and heeled sneakers making it cool to be seen on the playground, you can count me in. Wedge sneakers in everything from neon to snakeskin will throw even

Lululemon for a loop. Forget the gym; these will be perfect breakdancing shoes for the L.L. Cool J concert at CMAC.

Feel like traveling this summer? Don’t get up; no need to even leave the cabana. Worldly fabrics are coming to you this season. Baroque, Indian and African-inspired patterns are layered on cotton scarves, and colorful beading is loaded on mismatched textiles. So order another skinny margarita and read Eat, Pray, Love…again. Iridescent colors are perfect for the swimming pool or the carpool. The smaller the sequin the better; you want to glimmer, not bedazzle. This summer, “embellishment is meant for everyday.” Thank you Vogue: I’ve been pushing this all-day-all-season-party-look for years. So relax, hit the water and enjoy the sparkle!

Rochester's beauty professionals share their secrets for looking fabulous this summer.

JENN BERGIN

HEAD-TO-TOE BEAUTY

[1]Sunscreen is the ultimate anti-

aging investment, says Beth Gamble of Waterlily Spa and Cosmetics Boutique. It’s much easier to preserve great skin than to repair the effects of sun damage.

You may feel like you haven’t seen the sun in months—but it’s been working its magic on you. The left side of the average woman’s face has more noticeable skin damage, simply from daily exposure while driving in the car.

An SPF built into your moisturizer or makeup alone isn’t enough.

Gamble recommends a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sun product with a mineral screen, which allows light to bounce off the skin and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types.

She says Dr. Dennis Gross is one of the best. The leading dermatologist and cancer researcher has developed a powerful SPF 45 cream that is free of oil, fragrance and parabans, but full of antioxidants. $42

[3]Lilac won’t just be found at

Highland Park this year. It’s also one of the season’s hottest nail colors, says Michele Nicosia of the Spa at the Del Monte.

Clearly the sun’s not the only thing brightening up out there.

A pop of color is putting some spring in our step, with turquoise and hues of coral seen peeking out of wedges all over town. And of course, Strawberry Margarita —the OPI bright pink classic— remains a summer favorite as timeless as the cocktail itself.

If that sounds refreshing, try the ultimate in pedicure pampering, the seasonal Lemonade Pedicure at the Spa at the Del Monte, complete with a moisturizing lemon sugar scrub and relaxing foot massage with aromatic essential oils. $65

[4]Forget the false lashes you’ve

grown to know and love. Well, if by love, you mean waking up after a long night to find one stuck to your cheek.

Novalash eyelash extensions are being called the “instant pretty” for any woman who wants semi-permanent longer, fuller lashes. Michelle Rauber of Rock

Paper Scissors Salon and Spa meticulously applies an eyelash extension to each of the 50 to 200 natural eyelashes on the individual eye, a 2½-hour process. The effect extends the length and enhances the thickness of the natural lash.

It’s all worth it. Novalash eyelash extensions create a polished and natural look—no mascara and no daily maintenance necessary. The weightless extensions are waterproof, sweat-proof and virtually foolproof.

A full set is $225 and lasts 6 to 8 weeks. Touch-ups are $70 and recommended every 4 weeks.

[5]Imagine your hair in the mid-

summer heat and humidity. Not a pretty sight for most of us.

The Brazilian Blowout is a professional smoothing treatment that improves hair by creating a layer of protective protein which smoothes the cuticle—and eliminates frizz.

Once you try it, you’re addicted, says Sue Amalfi of Sooz Salon.

The treatment enhances shine, locks in color, and makes hair easier to dry. The 90-minute process lasts up to 12 weeks, and unlike standard keratin treatments, you can wash your hair immediately after.

The Brazilian Blowout is unique because it allows the client and stylist to decide how much curl to remove—perfect for the woman who still wants the option for a “beachy” look.

At Sooz Salon the first treatment starts at $350, which includes a shampoo, conditioner, serum and mask for optimum aftercare.

[2]If the idea of a tattoo brings

to mind that little butterfly you never should have gotten on your hip—think again.

Cosmetic tattooing, also known as permanent makeup, gives women of all ages a youthful and polished look and eliminates the time and hassle of a daily makeup routine.

At AE Spa, Andréa Sands creates an individualized look for every client, guaranteeing a natural appearance.

Eyebrow enhancement adds fullness and definition to thin or sparse brows, as well as frames the eyes and lends expression to the face. Permanent eyeliner can be created in a soft haze or a darker, more-defined look, allowing you to wake up in the morning looking your best. Permanent lips give fullness and definition to the mouth, and may also minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

At AE Spa, permanent makeup is $425 for eyebrows and $500 for eyeliner or lip outline, including a consultation and follow-up appointment.

TOP 5 INDIE SECRETS

[2]Forget Ben and Jerry. Famed

South Wedge chocolatiers Jennifer Posey and Zahra Langford take ice cream to a whole new level.

If hedonists are devoted to the pursuit of pleasure, then these women are on a mission. Not content to indulge us in chocolate alone, they bring us Hedonist Artisan Ice Cream.

Here they craft small-batch, super-premium artisan ice cream and sorbets using the finest natural ingredients, including locally sourced fresh farmer’s fruit from Hurd Orchards and high butterfat cream from Pittsford Dairy.

They feature a seasonal rotation of eight ice creams and sorbets, like Peanut Butter Bacon, Spiced Blueberry and Cucumber-Dill. The best-selling scoop is Salted Caramel, a creamy counterpart to their award-winning salted caramel confections.

Located at 672 South Avenue. Stop by for a scoop ($4) and leave with a pint ($10).

[4]FLOUR is a new quarterly

publication devoted to Rochester artists, artisans, cultural innovators and community.

Founded by Eve Lyons and local businessman Michael Calabrese, FLOUR is a magazine for Rochester—inspired by Rochester. Driven by a desire to document the progress and potential of our city, FLOUR is a pipeline to showcase the food, art, entrepreneurship and neighborhoods that create our urban pulse.

It’s a way to extend the cultural dialogue—not to simply cover subjects, but to have a response to them. The idea is to keep the conversation going with a tangible and quality periodical for people to share, borrow, keep on the table, and discuss.

FLOUR is available online at flourmagazine.com and at local retailers.

[1]This isn’t your average street

meat. Rochester’s finest food truck, Brick-N-Motor, is gourmet on-the-go. The mobile kitchen offers an ever-changing seasonal menu featuring high-quality fare made from fresh, local ingredients and guaranteed to please the palate of even the most dubious gastronome.

Think Moroccan spiced shrimp ($8) with toasted curry couscous—minus the waitress and white linens. Or the B-N-M burger ($8), topped with aged cheddar, arugula and garlic confit aioli.

Hang out around the truck and chat with co-owners Nathan Hurtt and Paul Vroman, who honed their culinary skills at Max. Just don’t forget to grab a chocolate-chip “crack” cookie before you go.

These guys are always on the move. Check out bricknmotortruck.com to find out where.

[5]Energized by the murals in his

old Brooklyn neighborhood and the rolling art gallery of the New York City subway, Dr. Ian Johnson was inspired to initiate the WALL\THERAPY mural project in Rochester.

WALL\THERAPY is a “public community-level event using mural art as a vehicle to address our collective need for inspiration.”

Local and international art “therapists” gather annually to “rehabilitate” the walls of Rochester with paint, and bring new life and energy to unused spaces across the city. Like diamonds in the rough, these vibrant murals now appear amid the gray cement on South Union and St. Paul, and adorn the walls of the Avenue D Recreation Center and the Public Market.

Feeling inspired? Visit wall-therapy.com for maps to mural locations or to support community collaborative art.

[3]What’s in a name? A lot, if

you’re talking about Cure, the restaurant/bar hiding out in Rochester’s Public Market.

As the name suggests, Cure emphasizes charcuterie-centric fare. The menu is conscious and eclectic with a French focus, using the freshest ingredients sourced by local farmers, available literally just outside the door.

Food is by Chef Dan Martello. Cocktails are by Chuck Cerankosky, both also part owners of restaurant Good Luck.

Multi-layered craft cocktails are named for the cultural references that inspired them, like Faith in Medicine—a gin and champagne infusion, named after the White Stripes song.

Whimsical allusions to dishes from long-ago, and updates on everything from French classics to Vietnamese street-food, make Cure the antidote to ordinary.

Located at #50 Public Market. Open Wednesday-Sunday, 5pm until late. No corkage fee on Wednesdays. Visit curebar.net.

PICNIC PICKS

[5]It’s all about family-style

at Good Luck, and for Chef Dan Martello, a picnic is the perfect way to share great food. He suggests simple ways to keep it fresh and flavorful.

Pack poached salmon or chicken with a cold lentil or rice legume salad. Forget heavy dressings and mayos; instead add flavor with fresh lime and lemon juice, red wine vinegar, or olive oil and balsamic.

Take advantage of the goodness in your own garden. Bring along pickled vegetables. Dip crisp cucumbers or peas into a salsa verde or salsa rosa. Use fresh mint in a seasonal fruit salad with strawberries, kiwi and watermelon, or make an herb salad with basil and parsley, drizzled with lemon juice. And for the perfect summer dessert, try grilled peaches soaked in red wine.

[2]Keep your cool while dining

alfresco with these summer wines, recommended as picnic palette-pleasers by Jerry Vorrasi at Restaurant 2 Vine.

Chardonnay. A local favorite: medium-bodied blend of four types of oak-aged chardonnay. This heartier white is both rich and spicy, with nuances of vanilla and a toasty finish. Great with lobster, so go ahead—indulge!

perfect alternative to a bold red

bright raspberry and strawberry overtones, with a dry and clean finish. Try this versatile blush with flavored meats or flatbread pizzas.

and sweet German dessert wine

with apricot, an aroma of tangerine and honeydew, revealing hints of honey and raspberries, and a rush of white peaches. Perfect with a fresh summer salad.

[3]Picnics don’t mean you have

hot dog. “Slow Food Fast” is the motto in the breathe® kitchen, where Chef Santino Cala believes in real food. Every day. He suggests:

sun-dried tomatoes and roasted garlic

goat cheese and Meyer lemon vinaigrette

Parmesan cheese

cheese balls

skewers glazed with blood-orange balsamic vinegar

or a cucumber-infused gin and tonic. And then chill out with a breathe® ice cream sandwich, house-made with Jeni's Salty Caramel ice cream… and a long nap.

[1]Add an Asian twist to an

all-American idea, with a picnic menu from Chef Ching Imperial Bolima at Max Sushi & Noodles that’s sure to spice up your summer.

Try chilled coconut-lemongrass soup with a cucumber-noodle salad with chili-lime dressing or an organic grape tomato salad with soft tofu and shiso leaves.

Bánh mì—an airy, thin

filled with tofu, grilled pork or chicken and accompanied by fresh cucumber slices, cilantro, or pickled carrots, and seasoned with spicy chili sauce or sliced chili peppers.

Or take a twist on traditional with twice-fried chicken with Szechuan peppercorn dressing, and corn on the cob drizzled with miso-bacon butter.

350 Main Street East

[4]Bring a bit of Capri to Cobb’s

Hill, when you pack a picnic with Italian summer favorites from Chef Mark Cupolo at Osteria Rocco.

Grab a baguette from Flour

ricotta. Pair with a great olive oil, sea salt, marinated olives and Columbus-brand salame. Pizza and flatbreads are perfect for enjoying outdoors; try a simple fresh tomato pie.

punzone vino, a summer punch made with Montepulciano

sparkling water and a citrus zest. Add an olive oil cake for the

perfect ending to an alfresco summer meal.

T he legend: Ned was an “old Native American dude” who lived aloneon an island in the Long Island Sound. The waters surrounding hisisland were teeming with Bluepoint oysters (named for Blue Point,

Long Island, where they were originally discovered) so he harvested them forsustenance. He wasn’t rich, but he sure was happy!

Following in his footsteps, Ren Brighton has been farming Bluepointssince college, a passion he picked up from his grandfather, who ownedsome property on the Sound.

His business — Ned’s Island Oysters: Fresh Bluepoints delivered to yourdoor — is just over a year old, comprises two acres of beds in Darien, Conn.and is very labor-intensive. Beginning with local broodstock, the oysters startout in a hatchery. “It’s all about temperature manipulation,” Brightonexplains. “Spawning usually takes place only in the hottest part of summer,but if we heat the water to 30 degrees C, the oysters are tricked…” They thengrow in cages in the Sound until they meet Ned’s standard of three to four

inches; of course, the waters are carefully monitored by the State Bureau ofAquaculture. From spawning to market size takes 18 months to two years.

Caveat emptor: Since ‘Bluepoint’ is not trademarked, other regions haveattempted to market their oysters under this name. Be warned: theseimposters don’t even come close! Explains Brighton, “No rivers flow into thearea where our beds are located, so the waters here are a little saltier, andrich with algae, plankton and various nutrients.”

In addition to a delicious and nutritious eating experience (Ned’s Islandoysters were described by one taste tester as “sweet, perfectly briny, witha lingering tannic green pepper finish almost like a Chinon or otherCabernet Franc…”), oysters are reputed to be an aphrodisiac, and oysterfarming (a sustainable activity that uses no pollutants) is known toreplenish the seas. In fact, oysters eat by filtering out micronutrients fromseawater at a rate of about a gallon an hour, thus keeping marineecosystems healthy. So eat oysters, save the planet, and enjoy!

Once upon a time, everyone whocould grew vegetables in theirown “kitchen” garden, to haveeasy access to good, nutritiousfood and to supplement whatthey could purchase.

Unfortunately, as a civilization, we’ve movedfar away from the land, and most people nowget their fruits and vegetables from giant chainsupermarkets. Most of these fruits and veggiescome from industrial-sized farms, ripen in thetransport truck — instead of in the sun — andhave practically no taste and very littlenutritional value by the time we purchase themin plastic-wrapped packages.

STARTING A DELICIOUS REVOLUTION

The good news: a group of passionate anddedicated food “activists” has launched the

Good Food Movement. The overall goal is to getAmericans to eat healthier by relying more onlocally grown produce with higher nutritionalvalue, all while reducing our global carbonfootprint. In addition, there’s an emphasis onimproving children’s diets, specifically in low-income areas. Because while the number ofsupermarkets with organic produce sections,local farmers’ markets and locavore (organicfood, locally grown) restaurants has increaseddramatically, most inner-city children still live inneighborhoods served only by fast-foodrestaurants and convenience stores.

Alice Waters, of the renowned Berkeley, Californiarestaurant Chez Panisse, with getting the ballrolling,” says Arnell Hinkle, executive director ofCANFIT, an organization that helps communitiesimplement healthy-food programs.

About 15 years ago, over concern for a localpublic school, Waters launched The Edible SchoolyardProject. Through kitchen gardens planted on theirown public school grounds, students across thecountry learn how to plant and harvest organicproduce. The kids are then taught how to makenutritious meals from what they’ve grown.

“We’re calling for a revolution in publiceducation — the ‘Delicious Revolution,’” Watersexplains. “When the hearts and minds of ourchildren are captured by a school lunch curriculumenriched with experience in the garden,sustainability will become the lens through whichthey see the world.”

The Good Food Movement got another boostwhen First Lady Michelle Obama planted a kitchengarden at the White House in 2009. She wasinspired to do so by a grassroots advocacycampaign led by Roger Doiron, director of KitchenGardeners International.

Doiron is a modern-day Pied Piper for thebenefits of kitchen gardens. Knowing that whenEleanor Roosevelt planted a “victory” garden at theWhite House in the 1940s, it inspired 40 percent ofthe U.S. population to follow suit, he figured Mrs.Obama’s enthusiasm for the cause might have asimilar effect.

“The commercially grown foods we’re eatingtoday are significantly less nutritious than they werejust 30 years ago,” Doiron points out. “What we needare millions of people joining the movement byplanting four-season kitchen gardens right in theirown back — or front — yards. This produce provideshealthy meals for families and any excess can bedonated to local food pantries.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF URBAN FARMING

As the population explodes and urban areas continueto encroach on farmland, the ability to grow morenutritious food in less space becomes paramount.

Will Allen, CEO of Growing Power, is anurban-farming guru, admired and revered byeveryone in the Good Food Movement. Allen’smission is to get nutritious, organic food grownwith the smallest environmental impact. Using hismethods, Growing Power’s two-acre urban lot inMilwaukee, Wisconsin, produces enough healthyfood to feed 10,000 people.

Some of these methods include: greenhouses

and “hoop” houses (made from plastic sheeting andplywood) that are composted with the richestfertilizer, verimcompost, made from worms (heatgenerated from the composting process also warmsthe greenhouses in winter); aquaponics, a symbioticmethod of growing certain plants and fish together;and raising crops and animals (bees, chickens, ducks,goats) sustainably, without chemicals.

Growing Power not only raises healthy food in acompact urban space, they run extensive programsfor inner-city and disadvantaged youths to get theminterested in and involved with the process. Theyalso hold workshops and travel around the countrytraining others how to replicate their results.

Allen, winner of a Ford Foundation leadershipgrant, a MacArthur “genius” award, and a spot onMrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move” team, states: “We have tochange where and how food is grown right now,because we are malnourishing ourselves to death.Today, most people live in urban areas, yet manyhave very limited access to healthy, nutritious food.What’s needed is a Good Food Revolution.”

GET ON BOARD THE GOODFOOD REVOLUTION

Designer, film producer, author and TV personality Nate Berkus hasmade a career out of taking interior design beyond paint colorsand fabric swatches. His latest book, The Things That Matter

(Spiegel & Grau, 2012), gets to the heart of design in a way that has yousimultaneously poring over the vibrant pages and setting it down torearrange your living room. Here, we chat with Berkus about the book, hisown home décor, and more.Your new book focuses on design as a personal statement. Wasthere a point where you realized design was not just aboutmaking things pretty?I realized that very early on. My mom is an interior designer, so “home” wasmore about a well-designed room than a home-cooked meal. That was herway of saying she cared about her family. Things were not expensive, butthey were beautiful. It was ingrained in me that assembling interiors wasnot something to be rushed. You talk about incorporating things from your travels into yourdécor. How does one avoid a room full of kitschy souvenirs? I do a lot of research before I travel. I talk to the concierge at the hotel, I talk

to a friend who’s gone there before, to really get the best sources foreverything. I have a deep knowledge of furniture creators and modern art,but one thing that is always important to me is the element of the hand-made, whether it’s a Navajo basket on a coffee table or a South Americanbelt on a pile of books. I look for the best silversmith in Portugal, the besttextiles in Asia or ceramics in Mexico. I look for what’s indigenous, what’shistoric and traditional.When you walk into someone’s home, what stands out as“good” or “bad” design?What makes me happy is walking in to see different styles all combined.That may be a Swedish dresser, a French mirror and a Native American rugin one room. I think it makes a room feel layered, like it was assembled overtime. I love when someone takes a risk. I may not love what they did, but Iam taken in when I see someone is adventurous. Conversely, what bugs meis when everything is of the same quality or out of one catalog. You can tellwhen someone spent a great fortune, but you don’t know anything aboutthat person except that they’re rich. In the book, you discuss designing your own home in NYC. Howwas the process different than designing for other people?In a designer’s own home, he is answering only to himself, so he can takemore risks. I like to let things find me, whereas with clients you don’t havethe luxury of buying things haphazardly. For my home, I started to feel likeI didn’t have roots; I wanted to assemble everything in one space, under oneroof. Over 570 boxes were delivered to that home and as I went through allof them, I started to understand my own connection to things. I had todecide what to keep, where to put it, what it went with. The editing processis the most important part. Even if there is something you love, if there’s noplace for you to display it and enjoy it and have it add to the graciousnessof your home, then it should be edited out. What did you learn from writing the book?I didn’t set out to write an autobiography, rather I wanted the book to beabout how I approach design. I hope people recognize that we each have astory, which is why I shared my own in the book. Everyone I’ve known,everywhere I’ve been, everything I’ve done has influenced my style. I hopepeople will stop, take a beat, and decide for themselves what really servesthem in the home and what doesn’t. Only then can someone achieve aninterior that truly reflects their personality. What’s next for Nate Berkus?My Chicago design firm is constantly undertaking new projects. I am excitedabout my collaboration with Target, and hope people find a few things frommy line to add to their décor. I’m producing a second feature film that I’mreally excited about. I love books so much, and after producing The Help, Iwanted to find another project where I could make a beloved book into afilm. We need more of that.

‘‘We create art for people to wear.” With those words, David and Sybil Yurman articulated an enduring visionfor their company, America’s foremost jewelry house for

over 30 years. From the very beginning, their belief that art is personal —that the artist’s world is unique and the creative process is an expression ofthe artist’s aesthetic — made using the word ‘jewelry’ seem insufficient.‘Jewelry’ doesn’t entirely encompass David Yurman’s vision of what he iscreating, nor does it express his passion for the creative process, his love ofdesign and his refusal to be led by conventional wisdom.

His interest in sculpting began early, at just 13 yearsold. During summers off from high school, David studiedart, working as an apprentice to Cuban sculptor ErnestoGonzales in Provincetown, Massachusetts. In his 20s, hehitchhiked to California, joining other artists in Big Sur,and immersing himself in the culture and lifestyle of thebohemian community. Moving back to his native NewYork City several years later to pursue his passion forsculpture and form, he served apprenticeships undermaster sculptors Jacques Lipschitz, Hans Van de Bovenkamp and TheodoreRozack — experiences he describes as life-altering. Then, another call fromdestiny: the chance meeting of his muse and future wife and partner, Sybil.

His romantic nature inspired, he sculpted a piece of jewelry as a giftfor her. She wore it to an art gallery opening and the owner, taken withthe design, asked if David had more to sell. He recalls, “I couldn’timagine recreating something so personal that I had made for Sybil, soI said ‘no.’ But at the very same moment, Sybil said ‘yes’ — and, like that,

we found ourselves in the jewelry business.” Though he never set out to be a jewelry

designer, working closely with Sybil, a painterin her own right, led him to explore differentavenues of artistic expression. For the twohalves of the famed Yurman design team,their collaboration as artists epitomizes the

very essence of yin and yang. “Wecomplement each other,” says Sybil,

“and that creates a dynamic unity.Together, we create something biggerthan us, sometimes larger than lifeitself.” While David sees the world

through the lens of a sculptor, with arefined sense of proportion and a three-

dimensional perspective, his muse sees theworld as a kaleidoscope of emotion, color,

form and movement. After years of designing sculptural jewelry that was sold at craft shows

and galleries, it was David’s creation of the cable bracelet, a twisted helix ofsterling silver wire composed of multiple strands, thatput his name on the proverbial map. The piece becamean instant icon, a contemporary classic that has servedas the thread that runs through all of the collections.Deemed a phenomenon in the jewelry world, DavidYurman’s handcrafted creations — silver paired withgold, and diamonds and semi-precious stones set insilver — were revolutionary. The pieces, with ancientGothic and Egyptian references, blended classic withcontemporary styling. “We bridged the gap between

fashion and fine jewelry, and we used art as the bridge,” says David.For David and Sybil Yurman, beautiful jewelry is not the end result

of a simple technique or a single element. Outstanding quality andextraordinary craftsmanship are achieved from a foundation of artisticexcellence. Over 30 years later, what began as an artist’s passion forsculpture and a painter’s love for color has turned into a jewelry housethat continues in the classic tradition of the guild, but pushes theboundaries of convention with imagination and innovation.

Crossing Over“In the new Crossover

collection [far left], wecombine smooth and cable

cords to create contrast,texture and a sense of

movement. It’s really a symbolof the way Sybil and I work

together: everything we do isintertwined.”

Proof that a lack of colorcan sometimes be just assexy! The Dutch model’son-trend extras, includinga studded bag and astack of mixed bracelets,popped against the blankcanvas at a partycelebrating the inauguralissue of Generation Whosted by W Magazineand Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Since becoming a hotel in1939, the castle has welcomed dignitaries andcelebrities including Prince Edward, King GeorgeV, Ted Kennedy, Sharon Stone, Brad Pitt andBarbra Streisand. The castle offers contemporarycomforts and conveniences, but naturally, old-world traditions still thrive. There’s Ireland’s firstschool of falconry, a decanter of sherry in eachroom, and tea served in the drawing room. Andin keeping with conventional castle ambiance,there’s also a ghost, reportedly from the 19thcentury when the Guinnesses were in residence.Not to worry: guests who’ve seen the youngfemale apparition say she’s friendly.

In the northeastern corner of Thailand, in what were once nearlyinaccessible lands, you will find the tropical Asian destination knownas The Golden Triangle. Decades ago, thisregion, which borders Laos and Myanmar,was filled with opiate traders and insurgents.

Nowadays, it is one of the most unspoiled parts ofSoutheast Asia with a sophisticated infrastructure ofroads, markets, hotels and shops to attract visitors.

Physically, The Golden Triangle has magnificenthills, mountains, swaying bamboo forests, and themajestic Mekong river. Culturally, you’ll find Buddhisttemples and first-rate artisans perfecting sculpture,woodwork and pottery. Socially, the famedgenerosity of spirit that characterizes the Thaipeople is in abundance; as yet, the region has notbecome overwhelmed by tourists.

When I came across photographs of amagnificent house, available for rent, on a formercoffee plantation near Chiang Rai, a town within The

Golden Triangle, I booked flights immediately. Owned by an Australianinterior designer currently based in Hong Kong, pictures of the property

made it clear that this was an architectural gem.It took about 90 minutes to get to Chiang Rai

from Bangkok, and from the plane we were in awe ofthe verdant mountains to the north. We were pickedup at the airport by Sakda, our driver andhousekeeper for the next 10 days. During the ridefrom the airport, on a highway as sleek as what you’dfind stateside, we passed by pristine villages,remarkable fruit and vegetable markets, and smalllocal Buddhist temples. It was exotic but welcoming,and so clean and lush I felt as if we were in Hawaiirather than a remote Southeast Asian country. The airwas redolent with the scents of onions, ginger andfrying chilies, and even the colors of the fruits — pink,orange, red and purple — seemed so magical.

Chiang Rai has simple, wonderful, open-airrestaurants. The cuisine of this region is based largely

on Chinese peasant cooking. This means placing fresh herbs in the bottom ofa bowl, topping them with noodles, filling the bowl with broth, and puttinggrilled chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp over the noodles. Or, if you’re in the moodfor a lighter snack, head to the markets to buy exotic, colorful fruits like durian,longan, rambutan and pitaya.

When not eating, you should visit the bizarre, fascinating Black House,a huge installation organized by the artist Thawan Duchanee. The vasttemple grounds are perfectly landscapedon undulating rises, with fruit trees, narrowstone paths, small horses stationed nearthe buildings, and views of the hillsides thatmade me feel as if I was in a movie. Theartist had utilized the landscapes as if theyexisted only to complement his own work:it was that audacious! Each buildinghoused fake skeletons of imaginarycreatures, pelts from beasts that had neverexisted, and an odd, evocative mix of oldand new elements. Each building wasunique and stunning, and each was an art gallery unto itself, displayingworks of art in stone, fabric, clay and oil paint. It looked like somethingSalvador Dali might have done had he been born in Thailand.

The best pottery in the region can be found at Doy Din DangPottery, where master potter Somluk Pantiboon producesmuseum-quality work. While the region has a long history ofusing clay to make household items, Pantiboon is creating artthat is decorative rather than utilitarian. He is an independent

thinker, international in outlook and experience in contrast to most whohave spent their entire lives here as farmers.

Massages are the high point of a trip to The Golden Triangle. For about $50,you can have a one-hour treatment that will loosen you up, revive your sensesand restore focus. The very best place for massages in Chiang Rai is ChivitThamma Da. Located on a narrow street next to a river, this spa is housed in awonderfully old-fashioned, two-story wooden building next to a coffee shop runby the same owners. I went there each day during my trip, and after a 90-minutemassage, all the stress that remained from my ordinary life was diminished.Massages are a fundamental part of daily life for many in Thailand: It’s theirtherapy. As a clinical psychologist it’s hard to admit, but I believe their practicetrumps mine.

Interview by TAYLOR SMITH

Heather Moore is known for designing personalized, hand-

engraved jewelry mementos in white, pink and yellow recycled gold and sterling silver, with gemstone and diamond accents. Her unique style and unconventional outlook on jewelry have helped her create luxurious collections with a laid-back vibe. Heather’s line of customizable jewelry has been a favorite at Mann’s Jewelers, allowing women and men of all ages to document and embrace life’s significant occasions, memories and loved ones.

HEATHER MOORE

TS: What inspired you to start your company?HM: Documenting people's stories, whether

it’s in writing or photography, has always inspired me. When I was in college, I used to document people's quotes on plaques of silver

and then frame them with beautiful glass. I loved the interaction with the people that would tell

me the stories. It gave me the opportunity to freeze time and acknowledge a memory that was inspirational.

TS: What was the first piece of jewelry you created?HM: The first-person piece of jewelry I ever made was a silver handmade link chain, and it was in response to a teacher of mine in college who said (after I made a big steel chain for a glass sculpture), “Your chain is as strong as its weakest link.” I love that phrase; it holds true in all areas of life. So the first collection I concentrated on was the chain collection. That was back in 1994.

TS: What are your favorite charms to wear?HM: I have so many charms that I like to wear… It's kind of funny; people tease me because of my need to document. If I could, I would make a new charm every week! Whenever anyone tells me a funny story my first reaction is, “Oh my goodness, you should make a charm about that!” I believe that when funny or good things happen to you that allow you to feel empowered... that's when you should make a piece about it!

TS: What are the best charms to feature your furry friends?HM: I have seen so many cute charms about pets; we make them all the time! We see people who do their pet’s nickname, and we have all sorts of cute little paw prints and animal tracks that people mark right over the name. We also have a great graphics department, and if you send in a photo of your pet, we can do a drawing of him/her on a charm… So fun!

TS: We love that you can now customize charms with your own handwriting or doodle. What is one of the most creative designs you have seen?HM: We've done some beautiful handwritten pieces with people’s signatures and children’s drawings. I have so many favorites… Here are a couple: We got this message from a

husband—it was hand-written perfectly in a spiral —his vows to his wife on their wedding day… every time I read it, it gives me chills… What a lucky girl!

Another one I love was for four girls: they created a charm to remember their father, who used to sign his letters to his daughters with a big heart drawing. On the inside of the heart it always would say “No Other Dad.” We did an ID charm for each of the girls. Those were beautiful pieces, a very touching memory.

TS: Mother’s Day is coming up May 12th. What is your pick for a gift for your mother?HM: My pick would be if every kid wrote their nickname in their own handwriting and then we would put them all on a charm. So sweet—every time she would look at it she would smile. And then we could do the same on cufflinks for Father’s Day right around the corner!

TS: What is a hot offering from your new line?HM: The enamel pieces are brand new, with such a nice splash of color with your own little message underneath. The new chains are great for a bracelet or necklace.

There are also a bunch of fun designs in the store that you can just collect, designed by me. They are perfect for a quick gift idea and you can add those anytime you want.

Start your own design process by picking up a complimentary design journal at Mann’s Jewelers. Your journal will help you identify your design style, and will even allow you to begin doodling on photos of charms! Also, for every $250 you spend on Heather Moore, you’ll earn $25 Moore Dollars to be used to continue your collection.

“Every time I read it,

it gives me chills.

What a lucky girl!”

FOCUS: PROFILE by Robert Haynes-Peterson

Only a couple of weeks after Hurricane Sandy, when much of lowerManhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey were still plunged indarkness, TAG Heuer went ahead with its plans for the Manhattan

launch party of its latest Link collection, the Link Lady Trilogy LimitedEdition. Created in conjunction with brand ambassador Cameron Diaz,who attended the event, the Trilogy collection (a limited-edition steel ring,bracelet and watch trio featuring the first automatic watch in the LinkLady line) was already slated to do good: Profits are dedicated to supportUN Women, an organization that advocates for women's rights around theworld. In the wake of Sandy's destructive force, however, the watchcompany knew it must do more.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of Hurricane Sandy,"TAG Heuer president and CEO Jean-Christophe Babin told the crowd of500 or so, many of whom had flown in from Europe for the event. "Wedecided it was important to help New York Cares with their relief efforts,and we are donating $100 for every guest who is here."

As it happened, actor Leonardo DiCaprio — another TAG Heuerbrand ambassador, whose new Signature Link Calibre 16 Chronograph(with blue dial) will raise funds for Green Cross International and the

Natural Resources Defense Council — was in town filming The Wolf ofWall Street. He bounded on stage to join Diaz and Babin, showering highpraise on the brand. "It's incredible to work with a company that cares somuch, and gives so much. That kind of dedication to service is importantto me, and it's reflected in everything TAG Heuer does."

The Link Lady Trilogy Limited Edition set and Leonardo DiCaprioLink Automatic Chronograph Calibre 16 watch are in stores now. TAG Heuer fans can also enjoy a technological breakthrough this year: theTAG Heuer Mikrogirder. The innovative regulator, which TAG Heuerclaims challenges the 300-year heritage of hairspring/balance wheelmechanical regulation, allows the company to present a highly accuratechronograph, impervious to gravity, with minimal isochronous error.Winner of the 2012 Aiguille d'Or — the top prize in all categories at theGeneva Watchmaking Gran Prix — the Mikrogirder Chronographreplaces the spiral hairspring and classic balance wheel with a couplingbeam and excitatory beam system, paired with a linear oscillator. Thetechnology allows the chronograph accuracy to 5/10,000 of a second,beating 7.2 million times each hour. The design features a anthracite dialand rubber strap, with assymetric case.

IS IT NECESSARY TO SERVICE MYWATCH IF I’M NOT HAVING PROBLEMSWITH IT?All watches need maintenance. The extent of the service requireddepends on the particular timepiece, its movement and its age.Generally, quartz watches need battery replacements every twoto three years. Mechanical watches, much like automobiles, needregular servicing. The inner movements of the mechanical watchare lightly lubricated to reduce friction between the parts andensure accuracy and reliability. Deterioration of the lubricantsoccurs over time and results in higher friction, increasing wearand tear and decreasing precision. A mechanical watch should beserviced every three to five years. Watches should always betaken to an authorized retailer to be properly serviced. If thewrong gaskets, batteries or parts are used, it can result in moreexpensive repairs down the line. Even quartz watches, after asimple battery change, have to be properly sealed and closed toensure their water resistance.

WATCH WISDOMTIME TO ANSWER YOUR PRESSING QUESTIONS.

IS A WATCH A GOOD INVESTMENT?Many people buy a watch because they love the individualstatement the piece makes about them. However, in today’seconomy, people also want to know that the watch they’rebuying will hold its value over time, and maybe even go up invalue. Most top-name watches will hold their value and somecan even become heirloom pieces over the coming generations. Ifyou’re looking to start building a watch collection, invest indifferent styles of watches appropriate for different situations,and do your homework regarding the most coveted brands.Special or limited-edition watches are almost always a goodinvestment in the long term.

Among the more interesting materials beingused: high-tech ceramic, carbon fiber, aluminum, titanium andalloys of various elements. These are great new introductions thatare well worth checking out the next time you visit the store.

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT WATCH TRENDS?One of the most important trends in the watch market today is definitely the proliferationof dual-, triple-, and multi-time zone watches. For today’s global business person, or anybusy traveler, having alternate time zones readily available at the flick of the wrist is almostessential. These timepieces come in a wealth of styles and in an array of price ranges,offering design and technology options for men and women. Chronographs also steal thelimelight with their form-meets-function attitude. A chronograph is a watch that timesmultiple events, and it can be a very useful tool. Another important trend today is themove toward new timepieces for women. These include mechanical and quartz watchesthat offer sophisticated features and functions, like elegant moonphase indications,chronograph counters and calendars.

I HEAR PEOPLE TALK ABOUT“COMPLICATED” WATCHES; WHAT DOESTHIS MEAN (AND ISN’T LIFECOMPLICATED ENOUGH)? The term complicated refers to timepieces with certain functions orfeatures that are considered top feats of watchmaking. The mostcoveted complications vary depending on personal taste andwatchmaking progress. Among the top categories today aretourbillon watches (expensive, complex mechanical calibers thathouse an escapement, which compensates for errors in timekeepingdue to the effects of gravity), repeater watches that chime the timeon demand via a series of gongs and hammers, and perpetualcalendar watches that can track the day, date, month, year and leap year (and sometimesmoonphases and more) for hundredsof years to come. Some of the world’s finest complicated watches can have waiting lists, but please stop in anyway — we’re happy to show you some fabulous timepieces whether or not you plan to buy.

FOCUS: PROFILE by Karen Alberg Grossman

What was the original goal when the brand was launched back in 1976? My father-in-law, Mr. Raymond Weil, was a visionary. In 1976, while Swisswatchmakers were struggling with outdated business models, he saw anopportunity. His goal was to democratize, worldwide, Swisswatchmaking, to produce elegant and exquisite watches with the highestquality standards but at more attainable prices. Today, my mission is tocontinue my father-in-law’s extraordinary adventure.

How would you differentiate your company, and your watches, from thecompetition? Raymond Weil is one of the last independent family-owned businesses,with the third generation now in charge. Our brand benefits from thehorological knowledge of Mr. Weil, renowned in the watchmakingindustry as a living legend.

Our watches are creative and elegant, offering high quality standards atunequaled prices. They benefit from Mr. Weil’s 63 years of experience,from my 30 years, and from the latest technological innovations made byour R & D department.

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?Staying independent in a highly competitive market. By so doing, we’veadded a human component to our business model.

What can we expect from Raymond Weil this year in terms of technicaland aesthetic innovation? Mr. Raymond Weil invented a fresh approach to luxury. My two sons, Elieand Pierre, and I strive to continue along this route. (They are particularlykeen on introducing new technologies in marketing.)

Our timepieces are at once classic and modern, casual and elegant.

Remaining true to the brand’s spirit, we’re offering new designs andvariations in color, materials, shapes and sizes.

The Maestro collection, for example, features a new chronograph, aphase de lune complication for ladies, and some retro-inspired models.Freelancer is revisiting its classics with new interpretations of the best-selling chronograph and the open-dial visible balance wheel models.The new Jasmine collection features a subtle flower motif, which nowadorns the heart of its dial, on a guilloché finish.

You’re known for a focus on art and music; how does this relate towatchmaking? Music is a family passion: my father-in-law is a great lover of classical andlyrical music and was inspired by it from the outset when he named hisfirst collections after famous operas. He transmitted this passion to mywife, who is a professional pianist, and to my sons who are musiciansthemselves. I’ve carried on developing this unique duo — watchmakingand music. They have much in common: precision, creativity and theemotions they inspire.

What kind of person wears a Raymond Weil watch? How manywatches do you own and which is your favorite?A person who wears Raymond Weil is attentive to quality, and appreciatesinnovative, elegant timepieces. In addition, this person likely favors thetraditional values conveyed by a family-run company.

Personally, I have a collection of about 60 Raymond Weil watches andcannot pick a favorite; each is appropriate for a particular moment of life.That said, I currently love wearing a recent creation: my Maestro Phase deLune Semainier, a unique timepiece with seven hands, combiningharmony, elegance, tradition and innovation.

It was a tough qualifying session. Lap after lap I pushed myself to the max,knowing it meant the difference between starting on the pole position(where there’s an advantage going into the first turn) or starting on the

outside of the front row (where chances of taking the lead at the start areslim). As I took off alongside the other 35 cars in the field, I was confident Icould win the pole, especially since my pit crew had written a large #1 on mypit board. But as I came into the pits, I could tell by the look on their faces thatthis was not to be: I had lost pole position by only 5/100ths of a second.

Motor racing is a sport where time can be your best friend or your worstenemy. At the Rolex 24 at Daytona or at Le Mans, two cars can finish justseconds apart after 24 hours of racing. Pit Stops in Formula 1 are lightningfast: a car can have four tires changed in under three seconds. The driversof these cars are in constant radio contact with their crew members, whoreport competitors’ timing and scoring figures; race strategy can changeseveral times based on these reports.

While both motor racing and timepieces involve speed and precisemechanics, the fashionable gatherings of classic and vintage cars at Concoursd’Elegance events involve neither. In fact, these extraordinary vehicles arepresented stationary. Perhaps the longest running of these events is theConcorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, which has been held on the shores of LakeComo, Italy since 1929. At events like this, classic and vintage cars are scoredon the basis of perfection. It may be a static display, but the value of theseglorious cars can reach or even exceed that of some thoroughbred racecars.

In England, The Goodwood Festival of Speed is held each summer atLord March’s estate in West Sussex. This event combines static display with

individual runs up the driveway, and attracts about 150,000 spectators fromaround the world. Then in the fall, Lord March presents a spectacularvintage race held at the Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit, built in 1948 byhis grandfather just a mile or so from Goodwood House. In its glory days(the 1950s through 1966), this circuit hosted Formula 1 races and other top-level events that rivaled the best in the world. Today, all who attend thereunion come dressed in period clothing.

In the U.S., Classic Car Week in Monterey, California takes center stageevery August. Dinners, auctions, car shows, lawn parties and other exclusiveevents keep auto enthusiasts remarkably busy all week. At nearby MazdaRaceway Laguna Seca, some of the most extraordinary vintage racing is

held from Friday through Sunday at theRolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.Perfectly restored racecars from aroundthe world compete in full fields, usingmodern timing and scoring techniques.Split-second accuracy determines gridpositions, and drivers fight to shedevery possible second from their timecharts.

On the 18th green at nearby PebbleBeach on the final day of Classic Car

Week, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance draws the most remarkablecars and the most knowledgeable attendees to these celebrated grounds.The contrast between the racecars and show cars is significant: In racing,time is everything; in showing cars it’s inconsequential. In both instances,however, winners at Monterey are presented with iconic Rolex timepieces. TO

T he Margarita continues to rank as one of the country’smost popular cocktails, according to the Distilled SpiritsCouncil of the U.S. (DISCUS), as well as a perenniallypopular resort option. Fortunately, today’s drinker hasan unprecedented range of premium and super-premium tequila options from which to choose, whethersipped, shot or mixed into a drink. Casa Dragones is a

super-premium, limited-production blend of blanco (aged two to six months)and extra añejo (aged five years) tequilas, designed for refined, smoothsipping. It’s made in small batches and bottled in individually engraved,signed and numbered crystal decanters. “For us, it’s one bottle at a time,” saysco-founder and maestra tequilera Bertha Gonzalez Nieves, “and we neverwant to change that.” At about $300 a bottle, it’s not for shooting. Instead,it’s for sipping and is part of what could be called a Third Wave of Tequila inthe U.S. (Jose Cuervo representing our introduction to the agave-based spiritin the 1960s and ’70s, Patron/Sauza/El Tesoro taking us further along thejourney in the ’80s and ’90s, and today’s artisanal and luxury productsexpanding our horizons yet again).

Most of the flexibility in tequila production involves the fine points ofharvesting agave hearts, or piñons, how and how long the piñons are cooked,and specific distillation techniques. Blending differently aged batches, asCasa Dragones does, is a relatively new twist, one which Maestro Dobel

Single Estate tequila ($45) claims to have mastered first. A clear, colorlessblend of various aged tequilas, Dobel is unexpectedly earthy on the palate,in part due to the use of Balkan oak. Don Julio, meanwhile, launched itsAñejo 70 Claro ($70) in late 2011. Not a blend of aged tequilas, rather aclarified and filtered añejo, the result is a clear, colorless juice like a blanco,with the toasted oak and dusty sugar notes of an aged spirit.

Perhaps the most interesting experimentation happening with tequilainvolves barrel choices. Most brands employ new oak or used bourbonbarrels (the way most Scotch whisky does) during the aging process, buta few are exploring sherry casks, port barrels and more. DeLeon, aGuanajuato-based spirits brand, launched Leona on December 21 last year(the “end of the world” on the Mayan calendar). It was the first in a seriesof high-end, limited-edition “reserva” releases from the brand. FounderBrent Hocking says, “We were lucky to have purchased extra Sauternesbarrels used in finishing our añejo expression. While going through thewarehouse, we decided to experiment and see what would happen if weleft some to sit.” Taking the tequila to the aging “edge” of the añejoclassification (34 months), the resulting liquor is sweet, rich and complexand, quite simply, one of the most intriguing tequilas on the market. At$825, it had better be good of course, but Leona is no vanity project. It’sdefinitive proof that tequila has potential, as a fine spirit, far beyond bodyshots at spring break.
